Chateau Troplong Mondot Premier Grand Cru Classe B

Troplong Mondot 2009

Troplong Mondot

Case Format: 12x75cl

Max score: 100.0

The 37-hectare estate was promoted to the ranks of Premier Grand Cru Classé in Saint-Émilion in 2006 and dates back to 1745 when it was originally part of a substantial domaine which included the vineyards of Château Pavie. It became independent in 1850 when it was acquired by Raymond Troplong. After more than 80 years in the hands of the Valette family, today it is owned and run by French Insurance group SOCR, who brought in Aymeric de Gironde, formerly of Pichon Baron and Cos d’Estournel, to manage the estate and made massive investments in the cellar, as well as purchasing land from neighbouring Château Bellisle Mondotte and Clos La Barde.

Château Troplong Mondot occupies some of the greatest terroir situated on top of the Saint Émilion plateau and slopes, at an elevation of over 100 metres (the highest point in the appellation) which allows views of the entire village.

These were the St-Emilion excess years and you see it here, with kirsch flamboyance on the nose from the off. You hover around before tasting, not quite sure of how close to get. Theres gloss to the palate, with high-toned silky fruits that are not balanced perfectly with the heat running through the palate. I remember this at En primeur, and it hasnt calmed down enough over the last 10 years. Its got all the stuffing to impress, but you need to be looking for a very specific style. Lovers of subtlety should look elsewhere.

A big vintage, and a time when the concentrated Troplong style was in full assault. This is ageing as you would expect - which means slowly, and with a style that misses some of the generous charm that many 2009s are showing right now. I found this overbearing when tasting both En Primeur and at the 10 years on moment, and it has barely moved in expression since then. Alcohol is evident, and this feels heady and overpowering, although expertly laced with bitter chocolate, cocoa bean, damson puree. Estate signature dominates above terroir, hard to discern the limestone at this point, although it will emerge in the future. 100% new oak, Michel Rolland. The lower score here reflects the sense of disparity with what 2009 can offer elsewhere on the St Emilion plateau.
